These are stored in document boxes (AKA Hollinger boxes) - generally flip top and approx 12x10x5 inches. The boxes are stored on regular library shelving. These are in a staff only area with 24 hr turn-around on request (although often we can pull photos more quickly). The air photo indexes are stored in map cabinets in the public area. David David L.

Are they stored in flatfiles, hanging files, in boxes, etc.? Are there specific cabinets designed for the air photos or are standard cabinets used? We're a new company specializing in cabinets and supplies for the map storage market and could use some advice regarding the aerial photographs. Thanks. Don Harris [log in to unmask]
